Character Information
Name: Emmanellain de Fortemps Canon: Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward Age: Early twenties (never explicitly stated) Gender: Male Canon Point: Post 3.0 Background Link: Coming from the Fortemps family, Emmanellain is a true son of one of the four ruling houses of Ishgard. The second true born to be specific, though he is the third son of Count Edmont. As such, he's lived a pretty privileged and carefree life (as much as one can when your nation is locked in a thousand-year war). Ishgard is a very classist society, where nobility is supreme over all, and those not of noble birth are treated very poorly. Thus the distinction that, while he is the third son to Count Edmont, he is the second true born son, where the middle child, Haurchefant, is an illegitimate son, and thus not a true born and isn't treated as one.
His nation is highly religious, and through their faith it dictates those who have right to rule: the four high houses that descended directly from King Thordan and his knights twelve. So, those born of the high houses aren't only just nobles, but they are decreed their right to rule through their religion. Which, of course, provides them quite an aggrandized view on their position in society, and oft breeds selfish and oppressive attitudes among them. Though, House Fortemps is a bit of an exception of such, with Count Edmont and Haurchefant both enjoying outsiders. They often accept help from them, where other houses refuse to even ponder the notion, while also supplying their own aid in kind.
Unfortunately, an added stress to the nation happened five years ago when the calamity struck and the second moon fell from the sky. Thus, Bahamut was released unto the land, and weather patterns and the landscape was changed indefinitely. Plunging Coerthas into an eternal winter. Killing many Ishgardians from the suddenness of it all (seriously there's a crap ton of corpses still buried under mountains of snow and ice, it was rather brutal). This only served to further isolate Ishgard from the rest of the world, focusing more on their recovery and their war, than anything outside their borders.
When the Warrior of Light (the player character) is finally allowed into Ishgard, Emmanellain gets paired up with them to go to Camp Cloudtop. It's there that he gets assigned busywork for the most part, till that busywork gets him kidnapped by Vanu, which are large, rotund bird beastmen native of the area. What should have been a simple fetch quest for some spring crystals, turned into a quest to infiltrate the Vanu's village and rescue Emmanellain. A mission that proved successful, and unearthed that the vanu had summoned their primal (god more or less), which explained their growing aggressiveness when they had seemed rather docile before.
Emmanellain was quick to recover at least, but for the rest of the expansion he mainly just sticks around the Jeweled Crozier (shopping area of Ishgard), and is used for some information since he's an intense gossip and info hound. However, halfway through the story his brother Haurchefant was slain protecting the Warrior of Light, and he's left rather devastated. The impact of which is later on shown when you speak to his manservant Honoroit. He mentions that in the wake of his brother's death, Emmanellain has picked up training with the sword with a renewed fervor, and plans to take up the mantle his brother left behind. Which is rather uncharacteristic of the typically lazy and carefree Emmanellain.
With the truth of the origins of the Dragonsong War being revealed, and thus the foundation of Ishgard's very structure being pulled into question, it can be assumed that had an effect on Emmanellain's attitude towards his training. Of course, his brother dying to protect the truth and hope of Ishgard greatly affected him as well. However, the very structure of his society possibly changing would certain have a huge effect on him, as such, those huge developments in his life have clearly left him changed for the (possibly) better, even if outwardly he doesn't present it so easily.
If he takes up the mantle or not is yet to be seen, but for now this is where canon has left off with him.
Inventory: He will be bringing primarily this. Just his froo froo noble clothes.
Which broken down is: -Coat -Tunic -Pants -Thigh-high leather boots -Ring -And probably a bag of gil that won't help him at all!
